How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the idea of impressing your future self by setting up a daily reminder. This reminder should prompt you to ask yourself, "What can I do today that will make my future self proud?" This way, you keep your goals in clear sight without spending too much time or money.
A good way of doing this is by keeping a personal journal. Each night, write down what you did that day to impress your future self. This could be something small, like choosing a healthy meal over fast food or taking an extra step in your business. The key is that it has to be something that future you will thank you for.
To measure success by your own standards, create a list of personal benchmarks. These should be things completely within your control, like completing a certain task each day or improving a specific skill each week. Focus on these instead of comparing yourself to others.
When you want to set your personal bar higher, make sure you're clear on what that means for you. It could be waking up earlier, reading more books, or even just being kinder to yourself. Remember, your bar should always be set just out of reach to keep you pushing forward.
Lastly, as a high achiever, acknowledge when you could've tried harder. This isn't to make you feel bad, but to help you recognize your own potential. At the end of the day, check in with yourself. Did you do your absolute best? If not, plan how you'll do better tomorrow. Your future self is counting on you to use every day as an opportunity to grow and improve.
